I do not think anyone can shutdown PM, but I do believe that the Pats D (yes, the Pats D) can slow down DEN's O.

The key is jamming the receivers at the LOS. Without that, you have no chance. Manning was releasing the ball really quickly against KCC, completely renderring KCC's pass rush useless. You need to disrupt those quick passes.

On the other side of the ball (O)

I believe there will be an all out attempt to pressure TB, early. DEN will be vulnerable to combination of quick passes DA and RG underneath, draws, and screens outside. Once they settle a little bit, I think Pats' power run game has the ability to overpower the #4 run D. They showed they can do it against the #3 run D last week.

I think Pats win this one 31 - 21

the Key is a rainy field. The "PM cant win in the cold" is over blown. Where he struggles is on a slow field. If there is rain and wind, and the Broncos have to run the ball and stop the run, the PAts have the advantage.

I did no realize rain was in the forecast. I knew it was going to be cold. Rain will completely make this a different game. It definitely could hamper DEN passing game. I say DEN because TB always played well in precipitation. Only question is if the receivers will hold on to the wet ball.

Smother WW at the LOS, just enough for him to lose his footing a bit. That should disrupt the timing enough. All other passes will eb difficult for PM.

No rain in the forecast just cold and windy. the forecast calls for temps in the mid 20's with a wind chill in the low teens/high single digits. very windy gusts up to 25mph.

Not everyone has to "like" your team to win every game. What makes this one a bit tougher to take is the Pats are playing at home when most of us think the Pats would be the pick all the time. Roll clock back to AFCCG of 2012.. 'nuff said!!

Patriots 45-17. This is an old fashioned blowout of epic beatdown proportions. ONly the Roger Goodell loving Jets know this feeling... (45-3....roger?)

Brady Belichick are pissed beyond the spygate threshold into another stratosphere and Gomer senses it. The happy feet go into overdrive. Punishing hits over the middle reduce the Broncos to a cowering ducking timid aligator arms bunch of weenies... Brady channels this destruction like no other and surgically delivers lasers that Gronk Edelman,and Amendola catch with ease and punishing efficiency. Astonishing that none of the socalled experts other than Shefter can see this playing out.

coolade... a lot of Pats fans wish this! But, to hold Denver to 17 points with the decimated defense the Pats have? Confidence is not high for that type of score, but to win the game, is a different matter.

the cold weather is a concern to me because I think this may be a new situation for Amendola ( dome guy before) and Thompkins , Dobson. Dont know how many cold weather games were played at Cinn or Marshall

Good point. Can the rookies handle it? It's not just the cold weather for this game. It is cold weather, Gomer, a very important game, Sunday night game, big pressure. Will certainly be interesting to see how the rookies and inexperienced players handle all these factors.
